If you're in the US and you want to try your hand at both eating local and eating food that's in season, here's a great seasonal eating guide on The Sustainable Table that maps out in-season produce by state.
Why eat local and in-season? As the site puts it...
By purchasing local foods in-season, you eliminate the environmental damage caused by shipping foods thousands of miles, your food dollar goes directly to the farmer, and your family will be able to enjoy the health benefits of eating fresh, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Buying seasonal produce also provides an exciting opportunity to try new foods and to experiment with seasonal recipes. And it simply tastes better!
What's not to love about that?
